I currently have a 2010 s1 , 2012 s 1 and just collected my 2013 hp4 comp , all I can say is all the bikes are different in a whole myriad of ways, from the raw explosive power of the 2012, to the stiff throttle of the 2010 to the light flickability of the HP 4
If you can keep your 2012 , I would , they masterpieces of engineering history and you gotta love em all

I just picked mine up in Austin Tx,lonestar Bmw.
I bought the first one they got in and they are expecting a comp next week that's not sold yet. Ask for Ben sales or Dean GM, they are good people . Also gave me a great trade in on my 2011
